Sunspots

  • Polymorphic light eruption

Nature

Sunspots are an itchy mottled rash, which is red and raised, that develops on some of the parts of the body exposed to the sun. It is a hypersensitivity to ultraviolet radiation and is thought to be due to an inappropriate immune response. Usually the rash clears spontaneously within a week or so, but is likely to recur in subsequent summers.
